Build and Repair


I have a passion for sports and fitness. As I learned more about our bodies,  I noticed one important thing, strength and conditioning is vital to a person who is building and strengthening  themselves. Realizing this, I started to workout- long and hard. As I engaged in certain exercises I realized nothing was happening. I was sweating it out at the gym but I can't see results. Biceps were still fluffy, I still have my flab and everything that I had in mind just wasn't there.

However from what I have learned, our bodies undergo so much stress- our muscle tissues tear after a heavy workout. It takes time to see results- but as we follow our routines, the harder it gets the better- because once our bodies have had enough time to rest and repair- we will see the results of all our hard work. From fluffy and flabs to buffy and abs!!!

Same with our lives, whenever we encounter difficulties we tend to give up. We go through the same problems over and over again but we fail to see what is happening inside, that God is working. In that problem, God is breaking down our muscle tissue so that He could form another set of larger and stronger muscles. Deep inside us, He is working for us to be strong and ready to play at the highest level.

29 "He gives strength to the weary
       and increases the power of the weak.

 30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
       and young men stumble and fall;

 31 but those who hope in the LORD
       will renew their strength.
       They will soar on wings like eagles;
       they will run and not grow weary,
       they will walk and not be faint."

Isaiah 40:29-31
